I have a large project for which I am attempting to use TDD. I am using Tut as my test framework, which has its flaws but is sufficient for what I need. I need to exploit link time test seams, each test must be in its own executable. The project for this executable then launches itself as a post build step. Unfortunately, this means t...
Working in VS 2008 When working on on ASPX file in Source mode, if i've specified a StyleSheetTheme in the page directive of the file, then Visual Studio will provide me with AutoCompletion lists of the possible skinID values for a control e.g. <asp:Button ID="myButton" runat="server" SkinID=" //Having typed this much, I'll get an in...
I use a custom color scheme in Visual Studio (black background, gray text, etc.). There a few settings that refuse to change, however. For example, when cursoring through the markup for an aspx page, the current tag defaults to black text, which doesn't work well on my black background. I've previously changed the appropriate setting to ...

I'm working in an ASP.NET MVC Beta 1 project, and I've noticed that if I want to rename a file in the Solution Explorer pane, Ctrl+Backspace does not do what it should (delete the closest "word"), and I get a silly box character and annoyed. I'm doing this rather a lot as I'm using jTemplates, so rather than train myself out of using th...
When debugging web sites that I'm working on, I tend to use Attach to Process rather than F5 to start debugging (since the site's already on in Firefox). However, occasionally when doing so, I'll get the following error: EXECUTE permission denied on object 'sp_sdidebug', database 'master', owner 'dbo'. I know this is caused by att...
I've written a .NET console app that wraps CuteFTP's Transfer Engine - a COM object (ftpte). The version I wrapped is CuteFTP 7.0. I'd like to also support the 8.0 version, as some of the clients I integrate with have that version. I have a reference in my Visual Studio project to the CuteFTP COM object... how can I reference the vers...
I am working in Visual Studio 2008 on an ASP.Net application, which has been deployed to a test server. I would like to make a build without debug information to place in production, but the configuration manger only shows "Debug" in the configuration dropdown for my project. My other VS projects show "Debug", "Release", "New...", and ...

Hi, I'm developing a library for use in other apps and this library has lots of debugging and logging statements thanks to NLog. Is it possible to exclude the reference to NLog.dll when I switch to release mode? Cheers, ...
Hi folks, if i decide to use the 'publish' option for my ASP.NET website, instead of a Web Deployment Project, can i do custom msbuild things? Or do i need to stick with WDP's if i want to do custom msbuild stuff during compile/deployment. ...

Does anyone know how to tell VS(2008) where to save the obj folder when building the solution? We have it save the bin folder to another path in order to keep the source file folders small (ie. emailable), but can't find any way to tell it to do the same with obj... Thanks! ...
We're using Perforce and Visual Studio. Whenever we create a branch, some projects will not be bound to source control unless we use "Open from Source Control", but other projects work regardless. From my investigations, I know some of the things involved: In our .csproj files, there are these settings: <SccProjectName> <SccLocalPath>...
Hi My goal is to integrate testing into my development environment (as post-build step). I don't want to interfere with the DLLs that are generated in debug and release, so i plan to create new configurations for the project. But i don't want to compile every source file i have twice - once for the DLL, once for the test unit - I want t...
I'm just starting to pick up ASP.Net MVC and find myself writing a lot of <%= %> in the views. Intellisense does supply the closing %>, but I find that typing the introductory <%= to be burdensome (they are tough for me to type :-)). I've dabbled around a bit with Rails and the NetBeans IDE where I was able to type: r<tab> - which wo...
